Global health burden and needs of transgender populations: a review
Open accessAbstract
Summary Transgender people are a diverse population affected by a variety of negative health indicators across high, middle, and low income settings. Studies consistently document high prevalence of adverse health outcomes in this population, including HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), mental health distress, and substance use and abuse. However, many other health areas remain understudied, population-based representative samples and longitudinal studies are lacking, and routine surveillance efforts for transgender population health are scarce. The absence of survey items with which to identify transgender respondents in general surveys often limits availability of data to estimate the magnitude of health inequities and characterize transgender population-level health globally. Despite limitations, there are sufficient data highlighting the unique biological, behavioral, social, and structural contextual factors surrounding health risks and resiliencies for transgender people. To mitigate these risks and foster resilience, a comprehensive approach is needed that includes gender affirmation as a public health framework, improved health systems and access to healthcare informed by high quality data, and effectively partnering with local transgender communities to ensure responsiveness of and cultural specificity in programming. Transgender health underscores the need to explicitly consider sex and gender pathways in epidemiologic research and public health surveillance more broadly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
